The Flash and Brother Voodoo

 

I was disappointed that Brother Voodoo did not make an appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Maybe it's for the best, most of the guest stars didn't fare too well! Still, Marvel seems to be opening up its more occult side with what we saw in the movie and with characters like Werewolf by Night on the way.  Hopefully, Jericho Drumm will find an appropriate project to make his debut in.

  1. Maybe Brother Voodoo's cinematic debut will be in "The Mardi Gras of Madness!" Or, maybe, they'll consolidate his debut with the origin of the Macabre Man-Thing. Like, say, some exiled Haitian dictator trying to counter-revolt his way back into power using Ted Sallis' re-creation of the Super Soldier Serum?

    Speaking of unlikely scenarios, though: have you ever considered doing Konga vs. Godzilla or Godzilla vs. Gorgo using some of their old Charlton cover appearances from the Sixties?--Carycomic

  2. I think it's likely that Br. Voodoo will make his debut in some future mystical-related movie, most likely something related to the Midnight Sons.

    @Cary: You want unlikely? How about Microforce vs. Godzilla?

  4. According to this, Daniel Drumm was the original resident at the Bleeker Street Sanctum.

  5. One has to wonder if the Black Talon scrambled that particular egg.

  6. P.S. @ Bob: maybe if they were sent to shrink a rampaging Godzilla. Especially if he were being mind-controlled by someone like the Creature King!

  7. Isn't it Doctor Voodoo now? I think I read him working as a gp during a recent limited series, although I think he is really just a psychologist.

    Also I'm here for Mardi Gras of a Madness film. 100%

  8. @Jack Acid: there used to be a time-traveling version of Flash Gordon by that nickname @ Fawcett Comics. One of the few public domain Golden Agers that even AC Comics has yet to revive!

    Maybe Ross can beat them to the punch by teaming up the two good doctors.

  9. Maybe they could even team up against their super-villainous namesake from Nedor Comics!

  10. Is Dr. Voodoo on his way to or from his hockey match in this picture?

  11. Considering that he lives in New Orleans, I'll guess that he was on his way to Chicago for some one-on-one hockey with Harry Dresden.*

  12. I'd rather see Aqualad team up with Moonstone Comics' adaptation of the Skull Killer! For those who don't know? The Skull Killer was a pulp-fiction vigilante who only appeared in two serialized stories in the 1930's. But, in both those stories, he dealt with a power-hungry secret society called...

    ...The Purple Eyes.

    In one story, the ring leader called himself "The Octopus." In the sequel, he called himself "The Scorpion"! The prevailing theory is that the name-change was due to poor communication between writers (who often had to use the same corporate pen name). But, in story, the discrepancy could be attributed to the Chief Bad Guy wanting to hide the fact that he was still alive! Either way, I thought the Purple Eyes connection to be a natural.

  13. I wonder whether -- in the STF-verse -- that was the same 'Octopus' who later caused trouble for The Spirit?

  14. Could be. In the original comic strip, from Will Eisner, nobody ever truly saw the Octopus' face. It was either hand shots (like, say, folded authoritatively on a desk top). Or he was disguised as somebody else, using a Mission Impossible-style face mask!---Cary
